Although Nunnally already knew that her friend had a very unreliable side to her, she had to admit that she was still stunned when she heard Kuliya's confident answer.
Is that even possible?
"You don't understand."
Seeing her friend's expression, Kuliya had to hold her hand and explain in detail.
"Don't think that looking at a person's face is unreliable, but in our line of work, looking at a person's face is the foundation."
Kuliya was not lying. As a staff member of the Alchemist Association, this was her main job. Naturally, she needed to identify visitors to distinguish whether they were sincere in their cooperation or just here to scam them. The nature of the Alchemist Association's work was similar to this. You had to distinguish what was black science, what was high science, and what was civil science. When the time came, it would be a joke if they reported the transformation of water into oil as a major alchemy invention.
But staff members were staff members after all. People like Kuliya were not even alchemists. Although she had never seen a pig run, she had to identify all kinds of alchemy inventions every day. Some flew in the sky, some ran on the ground, and some swam in the water. You couldn't expect these staff members to know everything from astronomy to geography.
If that was the case, why would they still be working at the front desk? They might as well be a librarian.
In contrast, it was much easier to judge people.
At least you could see some characteristics of a person from their speech, demeanor, temperament and so on. If the person was a braggart, then the invention he presented must be taken with a grain of salt. If the person was an honest person, then the invention he presented might not have the time to explain clearly … In short, Kuliya believed that she might be wrong about inventions, but she would never be wrong about people!
At first, she did have some doubts about Nunnally's so-called "relative", especially when Nunnally's hesitant attitude deepened Kuliya's suspicions. She and Nunnally grew up together, so Kuliya couldn't be clearer about her friend's personality. Looking at Nunnally's behavior, Kuliya knew that Nunnally must be hiding something from her, so she decided to follow her to find out.
Kuliya kept badmouthing "Ezio" along the way because she wanted to see Nunnally's reaction. If Nunnally really hated that person, she would unconsciously agree with her opinion. If Nunnally was charmed by that man, she would more or less retort.
But what puzzled Kuliya was that after hearing her "trash talk", Nunnally didn't act as if she had found a soulmate, nor did she defend her oppa like a woman who had lost her mind in love. She just dissuaded Kuliya with some perplexity. Instead of being coerced or charmed, it seemed more like she respected Kuliya.
After seeing Fangzheng with her own eyes, Kuliya immediately noticed his extraordinariness.
The young man was only in his early twenties, but his clothes and mannerisms had a noble and elegant temperament. His eyes were calm, and when he looked at Kuliya or Nunnally, he didn't show any evil feelings. Not only that, when Fangzheng looked at her, Kuliya even felt a strong pressure. It was as if a ruler who controlled the world was staring at her. Kuliya almost trembled all over!
But more importantly, the young man in front of her was too handsome!
Unlike Nunnally, who stayed at home all day, Kuliya had seen a lot of young talents. There were many talented alchemists here. Although this was not the headquarters of the Association, there had been some similar "geniuses" and "prodigies" over the years, such as a blond dwarf who dreamed of getting the Philosopher's Stone, or a big guy who wanted to refine a human body into a human ….
Alchemy warlock was a money-burning profession, but it was also a profit-making profession. Therefore, in this line of work, Kulia had also seen a lot of noble children and eligible bachelors. Among them, there were those with good looks, temperament, and even those with good looks and temperament.
But none of them had reached Fangzheng's level!
Although Fangzheng's appearance had not changed much from before his rebirth, he was not ugly and fat before his rebirth. His body had also been fine-tuned when it was reconstructed. Otherwise, his charm would not have reached C + +. It could be said that the current Fangzheng had both good looks and temperament. Coupled with the Dominator bonus brought by the Heart of the Swarm, he was naturally not comparable to ordinary people.
Because of this, Kuliya's attitude towards Fangzheng was naturally not too bad. How could Kuliya not like such an elegant, handsome, long-legged oppa?
It was probably because of this that she did not hug his thigh and beg for his autograph!
But when Kuliya followed Fangzheng and the others to the greenhouse, she was immediately fascinated by the unimaginably beautiful scene in front of her!
"It's really unimaginable …."
Looking at the green in the greenhouse, Kuliya stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say for a while.
Because this was only an experiment, Fangzheng did not choose crops such as wheat, because these crops took a long time to grow, and the effect of eating them was not very intuitive. For example, wheat had to be ground into flour and then made into bread …. This process was too long.
Therefore, they chose to grow a strawberry-like fruit called oranges in this world. After all, this kind of thing had a short growth period, could be eaten directly, and tasted good. It was easier to use for experiments. And now, after these days of cultivation, these oranges were almost ripe. Just the bright red and delicate fruits under the emerald green branches and leaves, as well as the fragrant fruit fragrance, made Kulia salivate uncontrollably.
More importantly, it was winter! Winter!!
Oranges were a very popular fruit because they were sweet and delicious. Everyone liked to eat them. Whether it was the upper class or the commoners, they had a good market. But unfortunately, oranges had high environmental requirements, so they would only bear fruit in the summer of the year. Although many people planted this fruit because it was very popular … these fruits could only be preserved until autumn at most, although they could be preserved until winter with low-temperature magic. But low-temperature magic was quite expensive, and the taste after being preserved at low temperature ….. was not very good.
Take Kuliya for example. She also liked to eat oranges very much, so every summer when the oranges were on the market, she would eat them until she wanted to vomit. Because she knew very well that after this season, this shop would be gone.
Kulia had also thought more than once about what kind of enjoyment it would be to eat a sweet and sour, soft and crisp tangerine next to a burning stove in winter. But at that time, it was just a thought. But now, looking at the plump fruits …..
If there weren't so many people watching, she would have pounced on them and started eating! Fortunately, her rationality prevented her from doing such a rude thing in front of everyone. But even so, looking at the fresh and delicious fruits, Kuliya couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"This is amazing!"
Kuliya wiped the corner of her mouth and looked at Fangzheng with an excited expression.
"Sir, can I have a taste?"
In Kuliya's opinion, there was nothing wrong with her request. But to her surprise, Fangzheng shook his head and refused her proposal.
"It's not ripe yet, and even if it's ripe, I don't plan to let people eat it immediately."
"Huh? Why? "
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Kuliya was taken aback. She didn't understand why he said that. Not only were these oranges fragrant and sweet, but they were also much bigger than the oranges sold in the market in her memory. The color was also brighter and more attractive. She couldn't help but drool at the sight of them. Logically speaking, shouldn't they invite people to taste them at this time to prove the power of their invention?
No, in Kuliya's opinion, it was already amazing to be able to cultivate oranges in winter!
"Because these oranges are not ripe yet, and I'm not sure if they're safe."
Fangzheng looked very calm. He was not a scientific researcher, but he knew that experiments should not be done carelessly. To be honest, the effect of the "fertilizer" was beyond Fangzheng's expectations. The "fertilizer" made by Nimf and Nunnally using the body fluids of Slime made the oranges grow faster than if they were injected with hormones. This made Fangzheng a little nervous.
Even the hormones in real life didn't grow so fast. If this was in a horror sci-fi movie, it might be a mutated species …. What if something bad happened to the oranges?
Even if they were fine now, what if they gave birth to a deformed child after eating the oranges …. Who would be responsible for that?
"Then, then who are you going to feed these oranges?"
Kuliya obviously didn't know what was on Fangzheng's mind, but she was also dumbfounded. He's not going to eat such good oranges? What's he going to do after they're ripe?
"In short, I'm going to do animal experiments first …. Let's feed them to the dogs."
"What?!!"
Hearing this, Na Nali didn't react, but Kulia instantly exploded.
He's going to feed such good stuff to the dogs?!
